    Does it matter whether he's top 50, top 40 top 30 or top 20?

    To me it doesn't matter, I just enjoy watching him fight. He's definitely one of the most exciting fighters ever.

      Right now IMO...no..not yet.
      If he stays a bit longer...maybe
      Too bad he's going to retire on 2010, if not he's gonna be distracted trying to run for public office.

      It's hard to be an ATG top 20 these days.. knowing how promoters get in the way of making good fights...

      there are more money fights today than glory fights.

        Anyone who seriously think Pac is not top 20 ATG is either an idiot, or who's fav fighter got obliterated by Pac, got owned by pac fans like MannyP in a forum debate and/or just a straight up hater. Manny is top 5 ATG EASILY!!

          Paquiao has a great shot to climb the ATG ladder.

          Right Now: Top 100

          Beats Hatton: Top 75

          Beats JMM soundly: Top 50

          Beats Cotto or Legit Top Welterweight: Top 20

          Beats Mayweather: Top 10 ATG

              If Manny doesn't crack top 20, I don't think anyone in the future will. How many fighters these days fight with the intensity, drive, and desire to win in every fight the way Manny does? Nowadays it's all about the money. I know I know, fighters fight for the money. Well, yes but nowadays that is it. They completely lack the oldschool traits that guys like Bhop who understands boxing history and his place in it, and 1 like Manny who now realizes, it's more than just the money at this point, it's about being part of history. Fighters don't think like that these days and that's why I think the future might be abit stale in boxing, but who knows, a fighter like them come around once an era or so.
